Presented at London Ruby User Group
In the life of every* project there is this moment where standard deployment methods just don’t cut it. You have many servers, many applications, many developers. It can become a mess very, very quickly.
Have you ever dreamed of hosting your own apt repository? When was the last time you were annoyed about slow deployment times because the asset pipeline needs to run every single server your app runs on? Oh and lets not mention installing ruby version managers on servers, ok? (I will though).
In this talk I will show how packaging (and deploying) Ruby applications doesn’t have to be hard or time consuming and can work with a project of any size.
